Oh...and BTW...the only reason why commodore was always cheaper...is because it uses your existing tv, whereas the others came with monitors. Nice market ploy, though :D I started with the TRS-80...predecessor to the Tandy. Ahh...the wonderful sounds of the tape recorder loading up games...*sniff*...brings a tear to my eye. Thank you Eliza....Thank you Cave Adventure...Thank You Crush, Crumble, Chomp. You made my youth so very special :D Title: Re: This is where it all started for me.... Post by: Jim Tressel on May 22, 2007, 07:54:56 PM I feel so young. My first computer was an Acer Open 486 with a QUAD-speed cd-rom, 32 mb of ram, and 400 MEGABYTE!!! hard drive. I could fit so many midi's on that thing...you don't even know.
Title: Re: This is where it all started for me.... Post by: Stugots on May 22, 2007, 08:54:44 PM I was the first kid with a Hard Drive in my neighborhood. Went straight from an atari 2600 to a 286 12mhz 640k 10mb hd that was as big as a toaster and made as much nose as a diesel.

Title: Re: This is where it all started for me.... Post by: Armonde on May 23, 2007, 12:06:42 AM I feel like a youngun, I just have an AT/XT Supercomputer sitting next to me. (It says its super on the cover of the manual!) I'm tempted to hook it up to see if it still works. I remember playing Battle Chess on it, I always hated moving the queen, if you moved her across the board, might as well go watch a movie, it took 20 minutes for her to move, lol. How about Hurkle? anyone remember that one?
Title: Re: This is where it all started for me.... Post by: Krogoth on May 23, 2007, 01:14:14 AM aww, I don't even remember my first computer. At 4 years old, I was playing with MSDOS, Windows 3.1, and was styling with a 3 button mouse.

I can remember connecting to local bulletin boards and playing Legend of the Red Dragon, using telnet through the local college to get on IRC. I also used to hide my cigarettes from my parents inside the ENORMOUSE case. Title: Re: This is where it all started for me....
